PATTERN FOR .EROUSERS.

Application filed March 19, 195-30.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, ARTHUR J. Ross, a subject of the lling of Italy, residing at New York, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Patterns for Trousers, of which the following is a specification.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a view of one of my improved patterns spread out.

Figure 2 is a view of the pattern shown in Figure 1 folded.

Figures 3 and 1 are front and rear views respectively of a pair of trousers cut from the pattern shown in Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a view of a composite pattern. for trousers.

Trousers made according to my invention may be formed with but a single seam in the legs and said seam may be formed either on the inside or the rear of the leg.

When the trousers are made of plain or what is known as an all over pattern it is preferable to have the single leg seam at the rear, and when the trousers are made of striped cloth it is preferable to have the seam On the inside of the leg.

When the seam is formed in the rear of the leg it is positioned in the middle of the leg and extends upwardly in a substantially straight line to a point above the crotch where it is curved and intersects the seat at a point between the crotch and waist lines.

The object of the invention resides further in a composite pattern from which a pair of trousers may be cut with an inside leg seam or a rear leg seam.

The object of my invention is to save material and labor. A further object of my in vention is to facilitate corrections in trousers for the dress of patrons and to more easily and quickly make such other corrections that may be necessary to ensure a perfect fit, and all comfort to the wearer.

F or purposes of illustration 1 will describe a pattern for trousers of the following measurements: outside length 10 inches, inside seam, 30 inches, waist 33 inches, seat 12 inches, thigh 27 inches, knee 19:} inches and bottom 16 inches.

In making the pattern, see Fig. 5, square :1. line on the paper vertically and in a horizontal plane from A, the distance between A and 1 being the measure of the outside length of the trousers: then square on the Specification of Letters Patent.

line A up from 1 and make 2 which is the inside seam measure, then square back to the point 4.

The distance between A. and 3 is one half the waist measurement, while the distance between 2 and 41 is one half of the thigh measure and 1 to 5 is half of the bottom width of the trousers leg. The point 6 is the knee'line and is 14 inches below the point 2. Square back from point 6 to point 7. The distance between point 2 and 8 is approximately 3, of the seat measure. Square up to the point 9 which is inch below the line A-3, 10 is 211- inches from 8, then shape from 9 thence down to point 10 in a curve,

the line from 9 to 10 being the fly portion of the trousers. Draw a line from point 10 at the crotch to point 11 at the bottom of the leg. The point 12 is 23,- inches above the point 8 and marks the bottom of the pocket. Square back from point 12 to locate the point 13 which is 8 inches from point 12 which is about of the seat measure, then square back 21; inches to locate point 14L. Then shape from 12 up to point 13 past the point 9. B is the balance of the trousers. Now measure from point A to 9 thence from A to B and make a dart of 3 inches, locate the point 15 and then shape the dart down to point 12, then make a 9; inch dart from 1G17, the point 17 being 6 inches from the point 18, and 3 inches from 15. 15 is inch below the line A-3. The distance between 1819 is left for allowance in fitting the garment and in all cases where two lines are drawn on the pattern close to each other it indicates locations for allowance in fitting the garment. The point. 20 is located 3 inches below the point 18, while the point 21 is 1 inchabove and to one side of the point 20. Shape from 19 to 21 thence to 1 1 to 4 to 7 to 5 and to X. X is 1%,; inches below 5 shape from X to 1, and finally shape the seat from 10 to 13 to 20 and 21 shape againfrom 10 going down i of an inch and pass between 13 and 14 up to 1 inch down of 21 and 1 inch back of 20, thence double from 9 to 12 where the fly and pocket meet and up to 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Now cut through the top fly of the folded material from 21 to 13, 10 and 12 thus completing the pattern for the rear seam leg of the trousers.

It will be noted that when the seam is at the rear of the leg it follows the natural line of the back crease formed when the trousers are pressed.

Now to out a pattern or material for trousers with inside seam in the legs see Fig. 2, shape from 10 down to 11, move this line back and told from 12 down to 11 making 22 croteh, 23 bottom, 24: knee. '22 is 3;- inches from 10. 24: is 1-1- inch from G and 23 is 1 inch from 11.

Now shape the back of the seat, see Fig. 5, following the line. "from 21 to 22 to 2l and to 28, and from 23 to X and this completes the diagram.

i What I claim is 1. A pattern for trousers having a single rear seain, formed with its side edges curved downwardly and outwardly, one curve being the line of the fly while the other is one of the lines of the seat, the top edge of the pattern being formed with a substantially U- shaped cut out portion constituting the crotch line, one side of this latter cut-out portion intersecting the seat line, the pattern being shaped along its side edges to form a leg portion below the said single fly and seat line.

2. A pattern for trousers having its two side edges out from the major portion of their length to the curve of the back of the leg, the remaining portion of said edges being curved to agree with the measurements of the thighs and seat, darts cut in the top edge, and a substantially U-shape cut-out portion extending downwardly from the top edge, one side curve of the U-shape merging into the line of one edge of the pattern below the waist portion of the pattern whereby the seam formed by the side edges of the pattern follows the natural line of back crease formed when the trousers are pressed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
